Typical testing regimen is at 1 month (more than 28 days) and 6 months. If either is positive, you will be offered medications that reduce the viral load in your bloodstream. You should talk to your Dr about using PrEP while you are waiting for results, and even if they come back negative. These prophylactic meds can prevent HIV infection during high risk encounters.

To be sure you need a negative test result at 6 months after exposure. For healthy diet: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/., exercise 30 minutes/day, drink enough water daily so your urine is mostly colorless, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs. Get HPV and Covid vaccines. Wish you good health!

CDC and other expert advice is that 6 weeks (actually 45 days, but 6 weeks is OK) is conclusive for the antigen-antibody (AgAb, "4th generation") HIV blood tests. Even though your AgAb test was a bit early, the combination of negative RNA at 2 weeks plus your negative AgAb result is also conclusive. There is no need for any further tests. The only exception is that PEP or PrEP prolongs the window
